A first-floor flat in Bridge Street in Glasgow was also one of the properties raided.

Another of the Glasgow addresses was beside Central Station. Other victims were found in the east end.

Ten women — all under 25 — were freed during the multi-agency operation.

A man, 29, and woman aged 30 were arrested on suspicion of human trafficking in Tollcross, Glasgow.

Det Insp McNidder added: “The success is we have managed to remove ten victims. It’s more about the victims but if we are able to get convictions then that’s great.”

Police Scotland said it was “crucial” that the public continue to report suspicions to the authorities.

Chief Constable Iain Livingstone said: “People are trafficked for a variety of purposes, including commercial sexual exploitation, labour exploitation, forced criminality and domestic servitude — all for the profit or personal gain of the traffickers.

“They are often trafficked across international borders, but also within Scotland.”

He added: “It is alarming that of the 213 referrals last year, 61 of those involved children.”
